AT first President Cleveland removed
officials with great ceremony and with
an affectation of reform. Gradually the
manner of dispatching officials has lost
its gravity, and it is now 20 trouble for
the pretender to turn out the trusted

rate of increase in number of removals
it will not take the entire four years to
have every Republican out of Office, as
